I've been using the OFED version as openmpi by itself, without IB support, is somewhat useless on most of my installs.
The easiest approach is to simply drop the latest src.rpm into the SRPMS subdir, then build ofed normally. ofed will pick the latest src rpm and build it with IB primitives.
This does break epel and distro openmpi, but as I said - these are usually useless to me without inherent IB support. For the same reason I don't use the distro's IB tools ( which conflict with ofed's ).
The major downside to this approach - yum update breaks. ofed rpms conflict with distro's rpms w/o any resolution, but it's easy enough to work around.

Also, I have given up on pbs and am now installing slurm exclusively. But this is just my experience - slurm for me is easier to use and maintain, easier to customize and configure for different requirements etc. There is no need to configure an interface for slurm, the default configuration is supported for openmpi.

Just my two cents.

Hello.

what are you using at the moment?
- custom openmpi build (rpm or nfs share)?
YES, we have /apps/mpi/* over gluster
- epel rpm?
NO
- oscar rpm?
YES, our teaching examples were all created using the oscar rpm version of openmpi so we have kept it on.

What would help you?
- openmpi-oscar located in /opt
- openmpi located in /opt
- openmpi located in /usr
Any is fine .

Many thanks for your feedback about this point.
Glad to help
